SwissMeteoStationsDB

In this repository, you'll find two Python scripts that fetch weather data from JSON and CSV files, storing it in an SQLite3 database. The scripts generate a view combining data from IMIS and SMN (VQHA80 & VQHA98) stations and another view with a summary of the data, allowing for calculations like total snowfall in the last hours or days.

Let's Get Started 🚀

1. Install the required packages using the following command:

   pip3 install -r requirements.txt

2. Initialize the SQLite database:

   sqlite3 meteo.db

3. Create the "VQHA80" table with the following SQL command:

   ```sql
   CREATE TABLE IF NOT EXISTS VQHA80 (
       id       INTEGER PRIMARY KEY AUTOINCREMENT,
       location TEXT,
       rre150z0 FLOAT,
       date     DATETIME,
       CONSTRAINT location_date UNIQUE (location, date)
   );

4. Create the "VQHA98" table with the following SQL command:

   CREATE TABLE IF NOT EXISTS VQHA98 (
       id       INTEGER PRIMARY KEY AUTOINCREMENT,
       location TEXT,
       date     DATETIME,
       rre150z0 FLOAT,
       CONSTRAINT location_date UNIQUE (location, date)
   );

5. Create the "IMIS" table with the following SQL command:

   CREATE TABLE IF NOT EXISTS IMIS (
       id           INTEGER PRIMARY KEY AUTOINCREMENT,
       station_code TEXT,
       measure_date DATETIME,
       RR_10MIN_SUM FLOAT
   );

Features ⚙️

• Data Retrieval: Extracting CSV and JSON data from URLs.
• Database Integration: Efficient storage in an SQLite3 database.
• Combine Data: Merge SMN and IMIS stations' weather data and generate another view with a time summary of the weather database.
